The Alphabet Stories

"This unique book, a collection of seven short stories, brings alphabets to life while giving life lessons of bravery, sharing and compassion."--Back cover.

Andy the Alligator and Colleen the Canary have come to help children learn their ABCs through stories. The Alphabet Stories is a book that assists children to learn and recognize their letters from A to Z. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a short children's story. The majority of words in each of the stories begin with the designated letter associated with the story. For children, there are some words that are confusing as they sound as if they start with one letter but actually begin with another. This book allows children to learn the letter and then associate many words that start with each letter. By doing so, the child's vocabulary is expanded, their spelling is enhanced, and their pronunciation is magnified. The best way to teach children is through fun learning, which is why Andy and Colleen are here to help.

Writing began as a pictorial record, then the pictures became representations of an idea and writing became symbolic. In the final stages of its evolution, the symbols represented a sound. This evolution is set forth within this volume, with emphasis on the common primitive forms and concepts from which the modern alphabet have been derived. With 90 illustrations.

From minding your Ps and Qs to wondering why X should mark the spot, Alphabetical is a book for everyone who loves words and language. Whether it's how letters are arranged on keyboards or Viking runes, textspeak or zip codes, this book will change the way you think about letters for ever. How on Earth did we fix upon our twenty-six letters, what do they really mean, and how did we come to write them down in the first place? Michael Rosen takes you on an unforgettable adventure through the history of the alphabet in twenty-six vivid chapters, fizzing with personal anecdotes and fascinating facts. Starting with the mysterious Phoenicians and how sounds first came to be written down, he races on to show how nonsense poems work, pins down the strange story of OK, traces our seven lost letters and tackles the tyranny of spelling, among many, many other things. His heroes of the alphabet range from Edward Lear to Phyllis Pearsall (the inventor of the A-Z), and from the two scribes of Beowulf to rappers. Each chapter takes on a different subject - codes, umlauts or the writing of dictionaries. Rosen's enthusiasm for letters positively leaps off the page, whether it's the story of his life told through the typewriters he's owned or a chapter on jokes written in a string of gags and word games. So if you ever wondered why Hawaiian only has a thirteen-letter alphabet or how exactly to write down the sound of a wild raspberry, read on . . .
